Way to go, self!

I’m so proud of myself today. After an intense weekend and then a very lazy Monday, I was actually productive! Who knew I had such motivation? Not to mention, I’m actually writing this blog entry the day of.

I had economics from 12:15 to 2pm today and we began our unit on macro economy that will only last 3 weeks and yet it gives the same amount of credit back at UO as a full term macro course. But to be fair, it’s a lot more rigorous (that 8-10 page paper, ugh) with more reading. Our professor went easy on us as we had only had the exam and I noticed that while spacing out, I was still able to pick things up. I think my Swedish is improving! Soon it’s going to get to the point where I can’t tune out, which is a positive and negative, I suppose.

After class I was supposed to meet with my group mates Jonas (no, he was not carrying a wheel) and guy-whose-name-I-forgot, but GWNIF was no where to be seen so we assumed he was sick. Great. We really need to get a start on this project because after the paper, we must present our findings and defend ourselves against another group or something…not sure if I’m understanding fully. Jonas and I tried to do some work on the school computer but neither of us could remember our log ins, so we decided to bring our laptops tomorrow and hope GWNIF shows up.

I went home and really got down to business after a much needed lunch. Before anything though, I checked the answer sheet for the final and according to the answers I remember putting down, I got a 13/20! You needed a 12/20 to get the full 2 credit points so I am safe. Yeah! I do need to step it up for the final though.

After this, I took some photos, chatted with my mom and dad, and sent off my temporary withdrawal form to the Honors College so I don’t get charged attendance while abroad. Then I went and paid my rent at the mini mart. This took a million years and for some reason I was charged 12kr (nearly 2 dollars) more than usual because of some fee for using an American card. I had no idea what he was talking about as there was no fee last time, but whatever. 2 dollars. He was confused enough as is. Then I came back to my apartment, got things situated so I can visit the doctor tomorrow (I need them to check my eyes and make sure everything with my disorder is okay), made dinner, and cleaned. I feel so productive! The only thing I didn’t do was read the two chapters for my book or see if I could come up with any ideas for my project, but after barely getting any sleep the night before, I’m thinking an early night might be the best thing for me at this point.
